550 FireCord Update

550 FireCord has come a long way since I last wrote about it. Live Fire Gear smashed their crowd funding goals for the project and it is now entering the final stages of production. You can expect it to be available sometime in October.

The product itself has been refined considerably. The 550 FireCord prototypes shown during the crowdfunding effort was basically just para-cord style nylon sheathing around a thick tinder strand. The more refined version will actually have regular nylon inner strands like standard para-cord with the addition of a color coded tinder strand. This should make it more durable and useful as survival cordage.

550 FireCord will be available soon at Live Fire Gear.

0241Tactical RCO ACOG Optic Cover

0241Tactical RCO Optic Cover

I have used various neoprene covers for my ACOGs in the past but found that they didn’t always fit well and they didn’t last all that long before they started splitting at the seams. The RCO ACOG Optic Cover from o241Tactical seems like a good solution for protection from dirt, dust, and scratches.

These simple covers are adjustable and fit loosely around the body of the optic so you don’t have to worry about the seams splitting. Like most of 0241Tactical’s line, they are available in an extremely wide variety of camo options.

Check out the 0241Tactical RCO ACOG Optic Cover.

EGL Drop-in VOCR Hydrobag

The VOCR, or Variable Objective Chest Rig, from Extreme Gear Labs (EGL) is already one of the most expandable chest rigs on the market. There are a host of available accessories for it and its derivatives like the HSP D3CR. The latest addition to the line up is the Drop-in VOCR Hydrobag which adds hydration capability to any VOCR, D3CR, or Mayflower R&C chest rig harness.
